Compuware shoutout! "These Atlassian customers are adapting to change with team innovation"

Change is hard. Some brains are wired to adapt to change, but for the vast majority of us it's exceedingly difficult. It requires embracing the unknown, or giving up habits and practices that have become ingrained in us over years, sometimes decades. Unfortunately change is a constant in today's digital age.

DETROIT, Aug. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation, the world's leading mainframe-dedicated software company, today announced that it's once again being recognized as a Cool Place to Work in Michigan by Crain's Detroit Business. Cool Places to Work is an award given to companies based on the combined results of two surveys.

Compuware – Why Work For Us?

As the Mainframe Software Partner for the Next 50 years, Compuware is always looking for inspired and passionate professionals to join our driven and talented community. We strive for excellence and speed in every aspect of our business from technology to business processes. We have worked over the last year to create a New Compuware and we don't plan to stop now; but rather, we continue to work tirelessly to ensure that push the bar higher and higher.

As the world continues to rely on the unmatched stability and consistency of the mainframe to support business-critical applications, Compuware provides the software, experts and best practices to ensure those applications work well and deliver value. For organizations that need to optimize developer productivity, reduce costs and improve service quality throughout the application life cycle, Compuware’s industry-leading mainframe solutions help them: understand code, optimize test data, test and debug, pinpoint problems, validate quality, and tune applications and performance.

Chris O’Malley is CEO of Compuware. With nearly 30 years of IT experience, Chris is deeply committed to leading Compuware’s transformation into the “mainframe software partner for the next 50 years.” Chris’s past positions include CEO of VelociData, CEO of Nimsoft, EVP of CA’s Cloud Products & Solutions and EVP/GM of CA’s Mainframe business unit, where he led the successful transformation of that division.

"The mainframe isn’t going anywhere. The applications running on it are simply too indispensable in terms of coded business logic, long-term investment, reliability, security, scalability and compliance. So the proper time horizon for CIOs when it comes to the mainframe isn’t just the next few years—or just the next few quarters—as it is for many technologies-of-the-month. It’s the next few decades."

Compuware is proud to have our global headquarters in the heart of Downtown Detroit since 2003. Detroiters are known for their passion, perseverance and industriousness and Compuware has found that to be a perfect match for our company. From world-renowned art at the Detroit Institute of Arts to one of the world's oldest jazz clubs, Baker's Keyboard lounge, to 3 major sports teams, Detroit is rich in culture, history and future innovations.

"I am excited about Detroit and its future! The rebirth is amazing. I have always lived in Detroit and graduated from both Cass Tech and Wayne State University. I love the new life and the new energy. I am proud to say that ‘I am Detroit.’”

– Terrina Murrey, Director of HR and Recruiting

“For me, working and playing here in downtown Detroit is completely inspiring. I get to look over Campus Martius every day, see the Ren Cen, Cadillac Park, and the progress of the M1 Rail on Woodward.”

Per the other reviewers, the infectious energy is felt throughout the organization and it does indeed start at the top, coming a from a company where you never saw or knew what the C-levels were up to which led to an inverse effect on company performance, product and employee outlook, it is so refreshing to be here at Compuware where its opposite.. with this leadership everyone is part of the mission and with great clarity, and Chris is definitely on to something here - glad to be part of the re-growth story..

Cons

perhaps modernizing some of the workspaces which seem a little dated, but can't think of any other...
